This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/523,336 filed Nov. 19, 2003, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/524,492 filed Nov. 24, 2003, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference and for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) agonists and methods of their preparation. More specifically, the invention relates to quinazolinone compounds that exhibit reduced bioaccumulation properties when administered to a subject.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Melanocortins are peptide products resulting from post-translational processing of pro-opiomelanocortin and are known to have a broad array of physiological activities. The natural melanocortins include the different types of melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH) and ACTH. Of these, α-MSH and ACTH are considered to be the main endogenous melanocortins.

The melanocortins mediate their effects through melanocortin receptors (MC-Rs), a subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. There are at least five different receptor subtypes (MC1-R to MC5-R). MC1-R mediates pigmentation of the hair and skin. MC2-R mediates the effects of ACTH on steroidogenesis in the adrenal gland. MC3-R and MC4-R are predominantly expressed in the brain. MC5-R is considered to have a role in the exocrine gland system.

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) is a seven-transmembrane receptor. MC4-R may participate in modulating the flow of visual and sensory information, coordinate aspects of somatomotor control, and/or participate in the modulation of autonomic outflow to the heart. K. G. Mountjoy et al., Science, 257: 1248-125 (1992). Significantly, inactivation of this receptor by gene targeting has resulted in mice that develop a maturity onset obesity syndrome associated with hyperphagia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia. D. Husznar et al., Cell, 88(1): 131-41 (1997). MC4-R has also been implicated in other disease states including erectile disorders, cardiovascular disorders, neuronal injuries or disorders, inflammation, fever, cognitive disorders, and sexual behavior disorders. M. E. Hadley and C. Haskell-Luevano, The proopiomelanocortin system, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 885: 1 (1999).

Furthermore, observations in connection with endogenous MC4-R antagonists indicate that MC4-R is implicated in endogenous energy regulation. For example, an agouti protein is normally expressed in the skin and is an antagonist of the cutaneous MC receptor involved in pigmentation, MC1-R. M. M. Ollmann et al., Science, 278: 135-138 (1997). However, overexpression of agouti protein in mice leads to a yellow coat color due to antagonism of MC1-R and increased food intake and body weight due to antagonism of MC4-R. L. L. Kiefer et al., Biochemistry, 36: 2084-2090 (1997); D. S. Lu et al., Nature, 371: 799-802 (1994). Agouti related protein (AGRP), an agouti protein homologue, antagonizes MC4-R but not MC1-R. T. M. Fong et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 237: 629-631 (1997). Administration of AGRP in mice increases food intake and causes obesity but does not alter pigmentation. M. Rossi et al., Endocrinology, 139: 4428-4431 (1998). Together, this research indicates that MC4-R participates in energy regulation, and therefore, identifies this receptor as a target for a rational drug design for the treatment of obesity.

In connection with MC4-R and its uncovered role in the etiology of obesity and food intake, the prior art includes reports of compounds and compositions that act as agonists or antagonists of MC4-R. As examples, U.S. Pat. No. 6,060,589 describes polypeptides that are capable of modulating signaling activity of melanocortin receptors. Also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,054,556 and 5,731,408 describe families of agonists and antagonists for MC4-R receptors that are lactam heptapeptides having a cyclic structure. WO 01/10842 discloses MC4-R binding compounds having a multitude of structures and methods of using such compounds to treat MC4-R associated disorders. Some of the compounds described include amidino- and guanidino-containing arenes and heteroarenes.

Various other classes of compounds have been disclosed as having MC4-R agonist activity. For example, WO 01/70708 and WO 00/74679 disclose MC4-R agonists that are piperidine compounds and derivatives, while WO 01/70337 and WO 99/64002 disclose MC-R agonists that are spiropiperidine derivatives. Other known melanocortin receptor agonists include aromatic amine compounds containing amino acid residues, particularly tryptophan residues, as disclosed in WO 01/55106. Similar agonists are disclosed in WO 01/055107 which comprise aromatic amine compounds containing tertiary amide or tertiary amine groups. Finally, WO 01/055109 discloses melanocortin receptor agonists comprising aromatic amines which are generally bisamides separated by a nitrogen-containing alkyl linker.

Guanidine-containing compounds having a variety of biological activities are also known in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,732,916 issued to Satoh et al. discloses guanidine compounds useful as antiulcer agents; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,874,864, 4,949,891, and 4,948,901 issued to Schnur et al. and EP 0343 894 disclose guanidino compounds useful as protease inhibitors and as anti-plasmin and anti-thrombin agents; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,352,704 issued to Okuyama et al. discloses a guanidino compound useful as an antiviral agent. Guanidine-containing compounds are also disclosed in other references. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,030,985 issued to Gentile et al. discloses guanidine compounds useful for treating and preventing conditions in which inhibition of nitric oxide synthetase is beneficial such as stroke, schizophrenia, anxiety, and pain. U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,381 issued to Chen et al. discloses certain guanidine compounds for use in selectively inhibiting or antagonizing α_(v)β₃ integrins.

Various 5-, 6-, and 7-membered fully saturated 1-azacarbocyclic-2-ylidene derivatives of guanidine are disclosed as having anti-secretory and hypoglycemic activities by U.S. Pat. No. 4,211,867 issued to Rasmussen. Such compounds are also taught as useful for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Other guanidine derivatives are disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 5,885,985 issued to Macdonald et al. as useful in therapy to treat inflammation. Various guanidinobenzamide compounds are disclosed in WO 02/18327. The guanidinobenzamides are disclosed as useful for treating obesity and type II diabetes.

The synthesis of various quinazolinone compounds is set forth in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/444,495, published on Jan. 29, 2004 as U.S. 2004/0019049, international application number PCT/US03/16442, published on Dec. 4, 2003 as WO 03/099818, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/850,967, filed on May 21, 2004; international application no. PCT/US04/15959; and U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 60/382,762, 60/441,019, 60/473,317, 60/523,336, and 60/524,492 each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

Despite the recent disclosure of various compounds that exhibit MC4-R agonist activity, a need remains for new compounds and pharmaceutical compositions that may be used to treat MC4-R mediated diseases and disease states. A need also remains for compounds that exhibit desirable pharmacological properties such as compounds that have reduced bioaccumulation properties in subjects to which they are administered.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The instant invention relates to novel classes of small molecule melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) agonists. These compounds can be formulated into compositions and are useful in activating MC4-R, or in the treatment of MC4-R-mediated diseases, such as obesity, type II diabetes, erectile dysfunction, polycystic ovary disease, complications resulting from or associated with obesity and diabetes, and Syndrome X.

The following definitions are used throughout this specification.

Alkyl groups include straight chain and branched alkyl groups having from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms. Examples of straight chain alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, and octyl groups. Examples of branched alkyl groups, include, but are not limited to, isopropyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, and isopentyl groups. Representative substituted alkyl groups may be substituted one or more times with, for example, amino, thio, alkoxy, or halo groups such as F, Cl, Br, and I groups.

Cycloalkyl groups are cyclic alkyl groups such as, but not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl groups. Cycloalkyl groups also includes rings that are substituted with straight or branched chain alkyl groups as defined above, and further include cycloalkyl groups that are substituted with other rings including fused rings such as, but not limited to, decalinyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, and indanyl. Cycloalkyl groups also include polycyclic cycloalkyl groups such as, but not limited to, norbornyl, adamantyl, bornyl, camphenyl, isocamphenyl, and carenyl groups. Representative substituted cycloalkyl groups may be mono-substituted or substituted more than once, such as, but not limited to, 2,2-, 2,3-, 2,4-2,5- or 2,6-disubstituted cyclohexyl groups or mono-, di- or tri-substituted norbornyl or cycloheptyl groups, which may be substituted with, for example, alkyl, alkoxy, amino, thio, cyano, or halo groups.

Alkenyl groups are straight chain, branched or cyclic lower alkyl groups having 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, and further including at least one double bond, as exemplified, for instance, by vinyl, propenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, isobutenyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexadienyl, butadienyl, pentadienyl, and hexadienyl groups among others.

Alkynyl groups are straight chain or branched lower alkyl groups having 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, and further including at least one triple bond, as exemplified by groups, including, but not limited to, ethynyl, propynyl, and butynyl groups.

Aryl groups are cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that do not contain heteroatoms. Thus aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, azulene, heptalene, biphenylene, indacene, fluorene, phenanthrene, triphenylene, pyrene, naphthacene, chrysene, biphenyl, anthracenyl, and naphthenyl groups. Although the phrase “aryl groups” includes groups containing fused rings, such as fused aromatic-aliphatic ring systems, it does not include aryl groups that have other groups, such as alkyl or halo groups, bonded to one of the ring members. Rather, groups such as tolyl are referred to as substituted aryl groups. Representative substituted aryl groups may be mono-substituted or substituted more than once, such as, but not limited to, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-substituted phenyl or benzyl groups, which may be substituted with groups including, but not limited to, amino, alkoxy, alkyl, cyano, or halo. In some embodiments, aryl groups have from 6 to 14 ring member carbon atoms.

Cycloalkylalkyl groups are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of an alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a cycloalkyl group as defined above.

Arylalkyl groups are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of an alkyl group is replaced with a bond to an aryl group as defined above.

Heterocyclyl groups are nonaromatic ring compounds containing 3 or more ring members, of which, one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S. The phrase “heterocyclyl group” includes fused ring species including those comprising fused aromatic and nonaromatic groups. The phrase also includes polycyclic ring systems containing a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, quinuclidyl. However, the phrase does not include heterocyclyl groups that have other groups, such as alkyl or halo groups, bonded to one of the ring members. Rather, these are referred to as “substituted heterocyclyl groups”. Heterocyclyl groups include, but are not limited to, piperazino, morpholino, thiomorpholino, pyrrolidino, piperidino and homopiperazino groups. Representative substituted heterocyclyl groups may be mono-substituted or substituted more than once, such as, but not limited to, morpholino or piperazino groups, which are 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-substituted, or disubstituted with groups including, but not limited to, amino, alkoxy, alkyl, cyano, or halo.

Heteroaryl groups are aromatic ring compounds containing 3 or more ring members, of which, one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S. Heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups such as furan, thiophene, pyrrole, isopyrrole, diazole, imidazole, isoimidazole, triazole, dithiole, oxathiole, isoxazole, oxazole, thiazole, isothiazole, oxadiazole, oxatriazole, dioxazole, oxathiazole, pyran, dioxin, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, triazine, oxazine, isoxazine, oxathiazine, azepin, oxepin, thiepin, diazepine, benzofuran, and isobenzofuran. Although the phrase “heteroaryl groups” includes fused ring compounds, the phrase does not include heteroaryl groups that have other groups bonded to one of the ring members, such as alkyl groups. Rather, heteroaryl groups with such substitution are referred to as “substituted heteroaryl groups”. Representative substituted heteroaryl groups may be substituted one or more times with groups including, but not limited to, amino, alkoxy, alkyl, cyano, or halo. In some embodiments, heteroaryl groups include from 5 to 14 ring members.

Heterocyclylalkyl groups are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of an alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a heterocyclyl group as defined above.

Heteroarylalkyl groups are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of an alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a heteroaryl group as defined above.

Aminocarbonyl groups are groups of the formula RR′NC(O)—, wherein R or R′ may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from H, or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl or heteroaryl groups, as defined above.

In general, “substituted” refers to a group as defined above in which one or more bonds to a hydrogen atom contained therein are replaced by a bond to non-hydrogen or non-carbon atoms such as, but not limited to, a halogen atom such as F, Cl, Br, and I; an oxygen atom in groups such as hydroxyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryloxy groups, and ester groups; a sulfur atom in groups such as thiol groups, alkyl and aryl sulfide groups, sulfone groups, sulfonyl groups, and sulfoxide groups; a nitrogen atom in groups such as amines, amides, alkylamines, dialkylamines, arylamines, alkylarylamines, diarylamines, N-oxides, imides, and enamines; a silicon atom in groups such as in trialkylsilyl groups, dialkylarylsilyl groups, alkyldiarylsilyl groups, and triarylsilyl groups; and other heteroatoms in various other groups.

Substituted cycloalkyl, substituted aryl, substituted heterocyclyl and substituted heteroaryl also include rings and fused ring systems in which a bond to a hydrogen atom is replaced with a bond to a carbon atom. Therefore, substituted cycloalkyl, substituted aryl, substituted heterocyclyl and substituted heteroaryl groups may also be substituted with alkyl groups as defined above.

Administration of the compounds and compositions of the invention may be accomplished using various methods such as those described herein. In one embodiment, the compound or composition is administered intranasally.

The instant compounds may exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric isomers. In some cases, one stereoisomer may be more active and/or may exhibit beneficial effects in comparison to other stereoisomer(s) or when separated from the other stereoisomer(s). However, it is well within the skill of the ordinary artisan to separate, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. Accordingly, “stereoisomers” of the instant invention necessarily includes mixtures of stereoisomers, individual stereoisomers, or optically active forms.

The instant invention also provides for compositions which may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the instant invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or tautomers thereof, with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, binders, diluents or the like, to treat or ameliorate a variety of disorders. Examples of such disorders include, but are not limited to obesity, erectile disorders, cardiovascular disorders, neuronal injuries or disorders, inflammation, fever, cognitive disorders, sexual behavior disorders. A therapeutically effective dose further refers to that amount of one or more compounds of the instant invention sufficient to result in amelioration of symptoms of the disorder. The pharmaceutical compositions of the instant invention can be manufactured by methods well known in the art such as conventional granulating, mixing, dissolving, encapsulating, lyophilizing, emulsifying or levigating processes, among others. The compositions can be in the form of, for example, granules, powders, tablets, capsules, syrup, suppositories, injections, emulsions, elixirs, suspensions or solutions. The instant compositions can be formulated for various routes of administration, for example, by oral administration, by intranasal administration, by transmucosal administration, by rectal administration, or subcutaneous administration as well as intrathecal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intranasal, intraocular or intraventricular injection. The compound or compounds of the instant invention can also be administered in a local rather than a systemic fashion, such as injection as a sustained release formulation. The following dosage forms are given by way of example and should not be construed as limiting the instant invention.

For oral, buccal, and sublingual administration, powders, suspensions, granules, tablets, pills, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets are acceptable as solid dosage forms.

Ethers, such as but not limited to, poly(ethyleneglycol), petroleum hydrocarbons such as mineral oil and petrolatum; and water may also be used in suspension formulations.

For intranasal administration (e.g., to deliver compounds to the brain), or administration by inhalation (e.g., to deliver compounds through the lungs), the pharmaceutical formulations may be a solution, a spray, a dry powder, or aerosol containing any appropriate solvents and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. Examples of intranasal formulations and methods of administration can be found in WO 01/41782, WO 00/33813, WO 91/97947, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,180,603, 5,624,898; Published U.S. Patent Application No. 2003/0229025 (U.S. Ser.

A propellant for an aerosol formulation may include compressed air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or a hydrocarbon based low boiling solvent. The compound or compounds of the instant invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from a nebulizer or the like.

Injectable dosage forms generally include aqueous suspensions or oil suspensions which may be prepared using a suitable dispersant or wetting agent and a suspending agent. Injectable forms may be in solution phase or in the form of a suspension, which is prepared with a solvent or diluent. Acceptable solvents or vehicles include sterilized water, Ringer's solution, or an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Alternatively, sterile oils may be employed as solvents or suspending agents. Preferably, the oil or fatty acid is non-volatile, including natural or synthetic oils, fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides.

For injection, the pharmaceutical formulation may be a powder suitable for reconstitution with an appropriate solution as described above. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, freeze dried, rotary dried or spray dried powders, amorphous powders, granules, precipitates, or particulates. For injection, the formulations may optionally contain stabilizers, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. The compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection such as by bolus injection or continuous infusion. A unit dosage form for injection may be in ampoules or in multi-dose containers.

For rectal administration, the pharmaceutical formulations may be in the form of a suppository, an ointment, an enema, a tablet or a cream for release of compound in the intestines, sigmoid flexure and/or rectum. Rectal suppositories are prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the instant invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or tautomers of the compound, with acceptable vehicles, for example, cocoa butter or polyethylene glycol, which is present in a solid phase at normal storing temperatures, and present in a liquid phase at those temperatures suitable to release a drug inside the body, such as in the rectum. Oils may also be employed in the preparation of formulations of the soft gelatin type and suppositories. Water, saline, aqueous dextrose and related sugar solutions, and glycerols may be employed in the preparation of suspension formulations which may also contain suspending agents such as pectins, carbomers, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or carboxymethyl cellulose, as well as buffers and preservatives.

Besides those representative dosage forms described above, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers are generally known to those skilled in the art and are thus included in the instant invention. Such excipients and carriers are described, for example, in “Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences” Mack Pub. Co., New Jersey (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference.

The formulations of the invention may be designed for to be short-acting, fast-releasing, long-acting, and sustained-releasing as described below. Thus, the pharmaceutical formulations may also be formulated for controlled release or for slow release.

The instant compositions may also comprise, for example, micelles or liposomes, or some other encapsulated form, or may be administered in an extended release form to provide a prolonged storage and/or delivery effect. Therefore, the pharmaceutical formulations may be compressed into pellets or cylinders and implanted intramuscularly or subcutaneously as depot injections or as implants such as stents. Such implants may employ known inert materials such as silicones and biodegradable polymers.

A therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of the compound that results in amelioration of symptoms. Specific dosages may be adjusted depending on conditions of disease, the age, body weight, general health conditions, sex, diet of the subject, dose intervals, administration routes, excretion rate, and combinations of drugs. Any of the above dosage forms containing effective amounts are well within the bounds of routine experimentation and therefore, well within the scope of the instant invention. A therapeutically effective dose may vary depending upon the route of administration and dosage form. The preferred compound or compounds of the instant invention is a formulation that exhibits a high therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects which can be expressed as the ratio between LD₅₀ and ED₅₀. The LD₅₀ is the dose lethal to 50% of the population and the ED₅₀ is the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population. The LD₅₀ and ED₅₀ are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in animal cell cultures or experimental animals.

The present invention also provides methods of enhancing MC4-R activity in a human or non-human animal. The method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound, or composition, of the instant invention to said mammal or non-human animal. Effective amounts of the compounds of the instant invention include those amounts that activate MC4-R which are detectable, for example, by an assay described below in the illustrative Examples, or any other assay known by those skilled in the art that a detect signal transduction, in a biochemical pathway, through activation of G-protein coupled receptors, for example, by measuring an elevated cAMP level as compared to a control model. Accordingly, “activating” means the ability of a compound to initiate a detectable signal. Effective amounts may also include those amounts which alleviate symptoms of a MC4-R disorder treatable by activating MC4-R.

An MC4-R disorder, or MC4-R-mediated disease, which may be treated by those methods provided, include any biological disorder or disease in which MC4-R is implicated, or which inhibition of MC4-R potentiates a biochemical pathway that is defective in the disorder or disease state. Examples of such diseases are obesity, erectile disorders, cardiovascular disorders, neuronal injuries or disorders, inflammation, fever, cognitive disorders, type II diabetes, polycystic ovary disease, Syndrome X, complications from obesity and diabetes, and sexual behavior disorders. In a preferred embodiment, the instant invention provides compounds, compositions, and methods effective for reducing energy intake and body weight; reducing serum insulin and glucose levels; alleviating insulin resistance; and reducing serum levels of free fatty acids. Accordingly, the instant invention is particularly effective in treating those disorders or diseases associated with obesity or type II diabetes.

“Treating” within the context of the instant invention, therefore, means an alleviation of symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or halt of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevention or prophylaxis of the disease or disorder. For example, within the context of obesity, successful treatment may include an alleviation of symptoms or halting the progression of the disease, as measured by reduction in body weight, or a reduction in amount of food or energy intake. In this same vein, successful treatment of type I or type II diabetes may include an alleviation of symptoms or halting the progression of the disease, as measured by a decrease in serum glucose or insulin levels in, for example, hyperinsulinemic or hyperglycemic patients.

Scheme 1a illustrates a general synthetic route that may be used to synthesize various guanidinyl-substituted quinazolinone compounds. As shown in Scheme 1a, nitro and amino quinazolinone compounds such as (d) and (e) may be readily converted into a plethora of guanidinyl quinazolinones by converting the amino functionality to an isothiocyanate functionality such as possessed by compound (f). This may be accomplished reacting the amine group with thiophosgene. Isothiocyanate compounds such as (f) may then be readily converted into a thiourea such as compound (g) by reaction with a suitable amine compound such as (1S,2S,3S,5R)-(+)-isopinocampheylamine. Preparation of the desired guanidinylamine such as compound (h) may then be accomplished by reacting the thiourea with a compound such as 1-[3-(dimethylamino)-propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and then with a suitable amine such as cis-2,6-dimethylpiperazine, (S)-2-(fluoromethyl)piperazine, or the like. Various fluorine-substituted compounds may be prepared using the methodology shown in Scheme 1a using an appropriately substituted 4-nitroanthranilic acid. Other compounds may be prepared by using 5-nitroanthranilic acid in place of 4-nitroanthranilic acid.

Scheme 1b illustrates another generally applicable method that may be employed to synthesize a large number of guanidinyl-substituted quinazolinones and heterocyclic derivatives of such compounds where a carbon of the benzene ring of the quinazolinone is replaced with a nitrogen atom. As shown in Scheme 1b, conversion of compound (d) to (e) may be accomplished by initially adding trimethylphosphine to form a reactive iminophosphorane intermediate, adding a substituted isocyanate such as a cycloalkyl isocyanate for example, a polycyclic isocyanate to produce a carbodiimide, and finally forming (e) by addition of and reaction with an amine such as, but not limited to a substituted piperazine.

Scheme 2a illustrates another general procedure that may be used to prepare a wide variety of guanidinyl-substituted quinazolinone compounds.

Scheme 2b shows yet another alternative route that may be used to prepare various compounds of of the invention.

Still another route that may be used to prepare various compounds of the invention is depicted in Scheme 2c.

The present invention, thus generally described, will be understood more readily by reference to the following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

To a stirred solution of N-Boc-L-alanine (1 equivalent) and N-benzyl glycine methyl ester (1 equivalent) in dichloromethane was added TEA (1 equivalent) and HOBt (1 equivalent), followed by EDCI (1 equivalent). The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature under N₂ for 48 hours. The reaction was diluted with 10% HCl, and the organic layer was separated and dried over MgSO₄. Crude product was chromatographed on silica (30% EtOAc/hexanes) giving the desired product (1) as a clear oil (75%).

Step 2. Synthesis of [benzyl-(2-tertbutoxycarbonylamino-propyl)-amino]-acetic Acid Methyl Ester (2)

To a stirred solution of BH₃ in THF (1 M, 2 equivalents), was added dropwise a solution of dipeptide (1) in THF. The reaction was then maintained at room temperature for 24 hours and then diluted with methylene chloride, washed with NaHCO₃, and dried over MgSO₄. Crude product was chromatographed on silica eluting with 20% EtOAc/hexanes giving the desired product (2) a colorless oil (40%).

Step 3. Synthesis of 1-benzyl-5-(S)-methyl-3-oxo-piperazine (3)

Ester (2) was stirred in a 50:50 solution of TFA:CH₂Cl₂ for 1 hour. The solvent was then removed, and the residue was redissolved in methylene chloride and washed with a saturated solution of Na₂CO₃. The organic layer was then separated and dried over MgSO₄ giving desired piperazine compound (3) as a white solid (87%).

Step 4. Synthesis of 6-(S)-methylpiperazin-2-one (4)

To a dichloroethane solution of 3 at room temperature was added 3 equivalents of chloroethylchloroformate and Hunig's base (3 equivalents). The solution was stirred overnight, and the reaction was then directly loaded onto a silica gel column and chromatographed eluting with EtOAc/hexanes (4:6). The isolated carbamate intermediate was dissolved in methanol and heated at reflux for 2 hours. Removal of methanol provided the desired piperazin-2-one (4) as an off white solid (yield was not optimized, but was approximately 60% for the 2 steps). 6(S)-methyl piperazin-2-one compounds of the invention were made according to the following methods by EDC activation of the thiourea intermediate to the carbodiimide followed by coupling with 6(S)-methyl piperazin-2-one.

6(S)-Methyl piperazin-2-one guanidine compounds of the invention were prepared according to the methods described herein by EDC activation of the thiourea intermediate to provide the carbodiimide followed by coupling with 6(S)-Methyl piperazin-2-one.

Synthesis of 2-(R)-Fluoromethylpiperazine and 2-(R)-Difluoromethylpiperazine

Step 1. Synthesis of N-benzyl Serine Methyl Ester

To a stirred solution of serine methyl ester hydrochloride (3.0 g, 19.28 mmol) and triethylamine (2.7 mL, 19.28 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) was added benzaldehyde (1 equivalent), followed by 2 g anhydrous MgSO₄. The mixture was stirred at room temperature in a sealed flask for 20 hours, and then the solids were filtered away, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was redissolved in methanol (50 mL), and sodium borohydride (1 equivalent) was carefully added. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, was diluted with methylene chloride, was washed with NaHCO₃, and was then dried over magnesium sulfate. The desired title product was obtained as a yellow oil and was used crude. N-4-methoxybenzyl serine methyl ester was made in a similar fashion using anisaldehyde in place of benzaldehyde.

Step 2. Synthesis of N-benzyl-N-chloroacetyl Serine Methyl Ester

To an ice cooled solution of the crude benzyl amino acid prepared as described in Step 1 and triethylamine (1 equivalent) in methylene chloride, was added chloroacetyl chloride (1 equivalent) dropwise. After 1 hour, the reaction was washed with 10% HCl, and the organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate. Crude product was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 60% EtOAc/hexanes (Rf=0.3) giving the desired title compound as a colorless oil (67%).

Step 3. Synthesis of di-N-benzyl Cyclo Serine Glycine

The chloride prepared in Step 2 was dissolved in acetonitrile, and benzyl amine was added (3 equivalents). The solution was heated at reflux for 20 hours, during which time a solid formed in the flask. The reaction was cooled, and the solvent was removed. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride, was washed with 10% HCl, and was dried over MgSO₄. Crude product was passed through a silica gel plug (100% EtOAc, Rf=0.5) giving a white solid (80%). Di-N-4-methoxybenzyl cyclo serine glycine was made in a similar fashion using p-methoxybenzyl amine and the p-methoxybenzyl derivative of the starting material.

EC₅₀ values of test compounds were determined by treating cells expressing MC4-R with test compound and lysing the cells and measuring intercellular cAMP concentration with an Amersham-Pharmacia RPA-559 cAMP Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) kit. EC₅₀ values of test compounds were also determined using the following method reported by Goetz, et al. which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes as if fully set forth herein. Goetz, A. G.; Andrews J. L.; Littleton, T. R.; Ignar, D. M. DEVELOPMENT OF A FACILE METHOD FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING WITH REPORTER GENE ASSAYS J. Biomolec. Screening, 5, pp. 377-384 (2000). CHO-6xCRE-luc+reporter cell lines expressing human MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R (GenBank accession numbers X65634, LO6155, S77415 and U08353) and the CHO host reporter gene cell line were propagated in complete medium in T225 flasks. Forty-eight hours prior to assay, cells were harvested with 2 mL of 0.05% trypsin, washed with complete medium and plated at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in complete medium. Sixteen hours prior to the assay, the medium was removed from the cells and replaced with 90 μL/well of serum-free DMEM/F12. At the time of the assay, agonists were added in a 10 μL volume and plates were incubated for 4 hours at 37° C. in a cell culture incubator. The medium was aspirated followed by the addition of 50 μL of a 1:1 mixture of LucLite™ and dPBS containing 1 mM CaCl₂ and 1 mM MgCl₂. The plates were then sealed and subjected to dark adaptation at room temperature for 10 minutes before luciferase activity was quantitated using a TopCount™ microplate scintillation counter (Packard) using 3 second/well count time. The NDP-αMSH concentration-response curve data were expressed as a percentage of the fold stimulation in the NDP-αMSH control for each receptor subtype. The control value is the average of duplicate wells treated with 1×10⁻⁷ M NDP-αMSH.

For this reason, each of the exemplary compounds is individually preferred and is preferred as a group. Nomenclature for these compounds was provided using ACD Name version 5.07 software (Nov. 14, 2001) available from Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc and Cheminnovation NamExpert+Nomenclator™ brand software available from Cheminnovation Software, Inc. Some of the starting materials were named using standard IUPAC nomenclature. The Example compounds are illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the instant invention in any manner.

In Vivo Studies of MC4-R Agonists on Energy Intake, Body Weight, Hyperinsulinemia, and Glucose Levels

In vivo studies are conducted to observe the effect of MCR-4 agonists on energy intake, body weight, hyperinsulinemia, and glucose levels. All studies are conducted with male 9-10 week old ob/ob mice which display early onset of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes due to leptin deficiency. Mice are acclimated in the facility for 1 week before studies and are caged individually. Vehicle-treated (control) and drug treated mice studies are always run in parallel. In multi-day studies, mice (8-15 per group) are monitored for baseline body weight, fasting levels of glucose, insulin, blood lipids and energy expenditure and then injected twice daily (9 a.m. and 5 p.m.) with 3 mg/kg of a MC4-R agonist of the present invention for 4 weeks. Body weight as well as food and water intake are monitored daily. Animals are fasted overnight for measurements of fasting levels of glucose, insulin, and lipids once a week until the end of the study. Energy expenditure (resting metabolic rate, i.e., O₂ consumption and CO₂ production) are monitored in air tight chambers at the end of the study on fed animals. O₂ consumption and CO₂ production are measured using Oxymax systems (Columbus Instruments). Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT—a routine test for diabetes and glucose intolerance) is performed on overnight fasted mice at the end of the study. Blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance are measured using a glucose monitor (Onetouch sold by Lifescan). Free fatty acids are measured using an non-esterified free fatty acids enzymatic assay (Waco Chemicals). Serum insulin levels are measured by immunoassay (Alpco).

Results

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on food intake is determined by measuring grams/mouse/day throughout a 4 week study. Food is monitored every morning. Cumulative food intake represents the total amount of grams the mice consume during the study. A significant reduction in food intake is demonstrated in those mice treated IP with the compounds of the present invention.

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on body weight is determined by measuring grams/mouse throughout a 4 week study. Mice are weighed every morning. A significant body weight reduction is demonstrated in those mice treated IP with the compounds of the present invention.

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on blood glucose levels is determined by measuring blood glucose levels as represented as mg of glucose/dL of blood. Mice are fasted overnight and glucose levels are measured the following morning. Vehicle treated mice show an increase in blood glucose consistent with the rapid progression of diabetes in this mouse strain whereas, diabetes is slowed down considerably in drug treated mice. A significant reduction in fasting glucose levels is demonstrated in those mice treated IP with the compounds of this invention.

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on glucose levels during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is determined by measuring blood glucose in overnight fasted mice. Blood glucose is represented as mg of glucose/dL of blood. Glucose levels are measured the following morning. Orally administered glucose quickly elevates blood glucose, similar to a meal, and the response to this exogenous glucose gives a measure of how well the body regulated glucose homeostasis. Vehicle treated mice show an elevated response to glucose consistent with their diabetic state, whereas drug treated mice show a very much improved glucose disposal.

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on free fatty acid (FFA) levels is determined by measuring mmoles of FFA/L of serum. Mice are fasted overnight and free fatty acid levels are measured the following morning. Vehicle treated mice show elevated levels of FFA throughout the study consistent with their obese state, whereas the drug treated mice diabetes show a dramatic decrease.

The effect of the compounds of the present invention on serum insulin levels is determined by measuring serum insulin levels one hour after single IP dosing of 1 and 3 mg/kg in overnight fasted ob/ob mice. Serum insulin levels are represented as ng of insulin/mL of serum. Drug treated mice show a dose dependent decrease relative to vehicle.

Determination of t_(1/2), C_(max), FI, Bioavailability, Cl, V_(ss), and Nocturnal Efficacy

In vivo studies were conducted to observe the effect of the compounds of the invention in the subject animal. Male CD-1 mice, body weight of 20 grams at arrival, were used in these studies. Mice were given 30 mg/kg of compound in HPMC/Tween solution or suspension via oral gavage. Plasma, brain, and liver samples were collected at time periods of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post dosing. One mouse was used per time point. Thus, a total of 5 mice were used for each compound tested. For sample collection, mice were euthanized with CO₂. Blood samples were taken by cardiac puncture and kept on ice. Brain and liver samples were collected immediately after bleeding and the samples were kept on dry ice. For calculation of tissue half-lives (t_(1/2)s), the terminal rate constant k was estimated by the absolute value of the slope of a log-linear regression of the terminal phase of the tissue concentration-time profile. The tissue half-life t_(1/2) is ln(2)/k.

Male C57BL/6J mice of 6-9 weeks age were used in these studies. The mice were singly housed at least 5 days prior to the study. Two and a half hours before the onset of the dark cycle, food was removed from the cage top. Mice were dosed with a compound of the invention (in HPMC/Tween, as vehicle) or vehicle via oral gavage two hours before the onset of the dark cycle. Immediately before the onset of the dark cycle, pre-weighed food was given to each mouse. Food was weighed at 16 and 24 hours after the introduction of food to obtain cumulative food intake values. Mice were then euthanized with CO₂ followed by cervical dislocation.

The following table includes t_(1/2) data for plasma, brain, kidney, and liver obtained after oral administration.
